Forgot Your Phone Charger? Do This

We overhear this complaint almost every day…My cell phone is dying, and I don’t have my charger! If this is you, here’s what to do (aside from throwing your phone in the trash!).

If you’re in a coffee shop or staying at a hotel and your phone or laptop is running out of power—and you forgot to bring your recharging cord—ask a manager to look in the lost and found for a cord that fits your device. Lost chargers are so common that these businesses often have several dozen of them that customers have left behind. Helpful: Improve the chances of recovering your own charger by wrapping a piece of tape around the cord and writing your name, phone number and e-mail address on it.

I did exactly this in a hotel once. Found a charger that fit my phone, used it while we were there, and then returned it to the lost and found.

I can see it in a hotel.

But in a restaurant? Generally anything left like that gets tossed within 24 hours.
